For now I have reasons to believe that wire transfers in Europe are delayed because of the US problem, not more not less.
European clients are clients of Neteller UK Ltd, subject to FSA rules, whom at the moment have an eye on what is going on.
Regarding US transfers, the more plausible explanation is that there is a huge amount requested in wire transfers. Neteller does not want to put the money in US soil without having guarantees that it will reach the owner. you may say that this is an excuse since others are paying to US using wire. But keep in mind that all eyes are concentrated on Neteller actions so they are more exposed than others when wiring to US. Although the DOJ is the one that is screwing Americans, everybody is saying that it is Neteller that is screwing. As stated on gambling911, do you see DOJ concerned with Firepay?
This a massive protectionism trying to destroy all gambling industry that comes from outside USA. Then, US companies can enter the market and dominate it. That’s the point in which you’ll see some regulation in US.
Here we go, I’ve just received the wire request from the 2nd February on my European bank account. It took a bit long, but it arrived. The problem in Europe relates to the mass traffic Neteller has at the moment, and not because they are thieves.
The problem in USA is not related to Neteller alone, but with what I quoted above.
